"Brilliant" IT Person: Part 2

I didn't want to step into the office until Monday - despite what happened with the office emails (a.k.a encounter with the "brilliant" IT person).

I think the IT fella called up the office, and talked to my colleague.
Guess what she said?

"Can you get Mariam to ask the people who emailed her to send again those emails?"

OMG! This girl continues to render me speechless.

Let's say I do send an email to everyone (well, almost everyone that is), I imagine it would look something like this:

Dear all,

I've been out of the office for most of last week. In my absence, due to the incompetency of (to check the IT Dept name and insert here), especially one of its staff (to get her name and insert here), my mailbox has been deleted from the server.

As such, could you kindly re-send any email correspondences / attachment files to me, for I no longer have them in my mailbox. Apparently nothing could be recovered. Kindly send again your correspondences, especially those relating to deadlines, meeting schedules and those urgently needing my feedback.

Moreover, as a reminder to us all, let's not keep anything important in our mailbox - such as emails, attachment files, even reminders for appointments, meeting schedules, deadlines to meet.
Simply put, your office email is not to be used to assist with your daily work. I'm still trying to figure out why I'm given such facilty in the first place.

For reminders, try using post-it notes. I'm sure your cubicle could use the yellow-colour to brighten up your mood after such horrid experience dealing with some IT person.


Regards,
Mariam

(((sigh)))
I'm so very tired. I can't imagine what's going to happen on Monday. I guess I'll just have to wait for that day to come.

On a personal (and definitely brighter) note, I'll be spending most of tomorrow with The Girls, at Sheils' place. We'll be sort of saying goodbye to the place, as Sheils will be moving out from there by end of this month.

And Sunday is Mother's Day (except in UK / Eire, kan?). Most probably Abah, Mak, my siblings & myself will be having lunch at one of Mak's favourite restaurants :)) Hmm, must remember to make reservation tomorrow!

All in all, I'm wishing you a weekend filled with great times, and much, muuccchh love surrounding you.
(And hopefully, no encounters with "brilliant" IT persons!)
